Description
Summary:The study focuses on a single department in a wafer foundry business where the product goes through multiple passes through each department before completing the manufacturing cycle. The study plan is to uncover how the equipment uptime performance can be improved to help the company achieve the required production numbers.The analysis uses the Fishbone and why-why analysis to uncover the true root cause of the poor tool uptime performance, the benchmarking tool for comparing human capital numbers with a neighbouring wafer production facility and consolidates the findings using Input-Process-Outpout (IPO) model for a complete picture of the problem.
